Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?

russoric1 — 2025-02-17 01:16:39 UTC

I think the first commandment probably gets broken the most often. The reality is that we live in a hurtful world where many people have bad intentions. Forms of online harm are especially created through different acts of cyberbullying and harassment.

Why do you think these violations occur?

russoric1 — 2025-02-17 01:31:53 UTC

I think these violations occur for multiple reasons. Many of them occur due to strengthen private advantage and as a way to seek direct harm. I think secrecy is another big reason as many people can hide their identify online when performing acts such as hacking or stealing.

What do you think could be done to reduce or eliminate such unethical behavior?

russoric1 — 2025-02-17 01:39:06 UTC

I think strengthening computer security is a big part of reducing these unethical behaviors as it can help determine the user's identify. Incorporating identification resources and security systems such as multi-factor authentication, Kisi, and computer firewalls can help detect any foul play taking place and improve technological safety.
